Los Angeles Mayoral Race a Dead Heat

A new UC Berkeley/Los Angeles Times poll finds “voters upset over crime and a seemingly limitless geyser of cash have propelled Rick Caruso (D) to the front of the race for mayor, reshaping the contest and offering Los Angeles a stark contrast between the billionaire developer and his chief rival, Rep. Karen Bass (D).”

“If the primary were today, Caruso, with backing from 24% of likely voters, and Bass, with 23%, would move to the November runoff.”
